Asthma
Cure
better known as Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral, has made a record for its
remarkable cures of asthma. Cases
that have been considered beyond
hope or help have been cured by
this remedy. We give two examples
of such cures out of the many on
record: —
"My mother has been a great sufferer
from asthma for the past ten years, and hor
recovery is almost without a parallel. On
account of her advanced age—over seventy—
we had but little hopes of ever teeing her
well again: but we are sincerely grateful to
inform you that sho has been entirely cured
by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral."
INGLIB BANKS, Tar Brook, N. S.
"I was a sufferer for a long time from
asthma, vainly endeavoring to procure relief
in the use of ordinary remedies. At length I
was induced to try a'bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle afforded me so
much benefit that I continued the use of the
remedy until entirely cured."
